[@billygarvey633]

AmericanPatriot76 It's a triple G, so lower than a triple C, but above a double. However, the real kicker is that he often plays this as the finisher for a 90 minute concert. Also, to play it in tune and have it even be recognized is astounding

[@miguelaravena4837]

[@reallynobodybutme]

Arturo, I'm ashamed to admit that I have been a fan of trumpet for more than 30 years, but did not even know you existed until this past year! I have been watching several videos of you on youtube, and am truly amazed! My father played trumpet (he died while playing a gig, so it was a good way to go for him) and I am now learning at the age of 62. I played saxophone decades ago and conclude that trumpet HAS to be the most difficult instrument to learn! Thank you for being a great inspiration to many!

[@ghp7382]

as a student trumpet player. (;( ) I think brass is decently hard sense all it is is a metal hole, but then trumpet gets this tiny hole they have to shoot a fast small stream of air down. so personally it feels pretty hard
